1) It wasn’t meant to look like photorealistic bacon. It was supposed to be somewhat cartoonish, but not too cartoonish so i think Ken got it exactly how I wanted it. Same answer for the balck lines.

2) The story behind it? I REALLY like bacon. My wife and I were discussing a design I had when she said that she didn’t really see me with it. She said she saw me with something more original like bacon. The lightbulb turned on and I felt like a fool for not thinking of it myself. A few days later I told her I had an appointment with Ken to get the bacon tattoo. She was shocked and said she mentioned the bacon as a joke. Oh well, too late ;-)

3) To those that talked about bacon going with everything try a “bacon waffle”. Fry up 4 pieces of bacon relly crisp like, and break it up into about 1 inch pieces. Pour half of the waffle batter into the wafle iron, then place the bacon in and cover with the rest of the batter. Enjoy.

4) I was at the Boston Tattoo Convention last night when a random woman spotted my tattoo and let me know it was up here on the blog. So thanks to you for the heads up.
